		<p>Tabs are generally used to break content into multiple sections that can be swapped to save space, much like an accordion.</p>
		<p>Tabs have a particular set of markup that must be used in order for them to work properly:</p>
		<ul>
			<li>The tabs themselves must be in either an ordered (<code>&lt;ol&gt;</code>) or unordered (<code>&lt;ul&gt;</code>) list</li>
			<li>Each tab "title" must be inside of a list item (<code>&lt;li&gt;</code>) and wrapped by an anchor (<code>&lt;a&gt;</code>) with an <code>href</code> attribute</li>
			<li>Each tab panel may be any valid element but it must have an id which corresponds to the hash in the anchor of the associated tab.</li>
		</ul>

		<p>The content for each tab panel can be defined in-page or can be loaded via Ajax; both are handled automatically based on the <code>href</code> of the anchor associated with the tab. By default tabs are activated on click, but the events can be changed to hover via the <a href="#option-event"><code>event</code></a> option.</p>

		<p>Below is some sample markup:</p>

		<div class="syntaxhighlighter xml nogutter">
	<table>

	<h3 id="theming">Theming</h3>

	<p>The tabs widget uses the <a href="/theming/css-framework/">jQuery UI CSS framework</a> to style its look and feel. If tabs specific styling is needed, the following CSS class names can be used:</p>
</div>

		<ul>
			<li>
				<code>ui-tabs</code>: The outer container of the tabs. This element will additionally have a class of <code>ui-tabs-collapsible</code> when the <a href="#option-collapsible"><code>collapsible</code></a> option is set.
				<ul>
					<li>
						<code>ui-tabs-nav</code>: The list of tabs.
						<ul>
							<li>The active list item in the nav will have a <code>ui-tabs-active</code> class. Any list item whose associated content is loading via an Ajax call will have a <code>ui-tabs-loading</code> class.
								<ul>
									<li>
<code>ui-tabs-anchor</code>: The anchors used to switch panels.</li>
								</ul>
							</li>
						</ul>
					</li>
					<li>
<code>ui-tabs-panel</code>: The panels associated with the tabs. Only the panel whose corresponding tab is active will be visible.</li>
				</ul>
			</li>
		</ul>

<div>If and how to animate the showing of the panel.</div>
<strong>Multiple types supported:</strong><ul>
<li>
<strong>Boolean</strong>: 
			When set to <code>false</code>, no animation will be used and the panel will be shown immediately.
			When set to <code>true</code>, the panel will fade in with the default duration and the default easing.
		</li>
<li>
<strong>Number</strong>: 
			The panel will fade in with the specified duration and the default easing.
		</li>
<li>
<strong>String</strong>: 
			The panel will be shown using the specified effect.
			The value can either be the name of a built-in jQuery animation method, such as <code>"slideDown"</code>, or the name of a <a href="/category/effects/">jQuery UI effect</a>, such as <code>"fold"</code>.
			In either case the effect will be used with the default duration and the default easing.
		</li>
<li>
<strong>Object</strong>: If the value is an object, then <code>effect</code>, <code>delay</code>, <code>duration</code>, and <code>easing</code> properties may be provided. If the <code>effect</code> property contains the name of a jQuery method, then that method will be used; otherwise it is assumed to be the name of a jQuery UI effect. When using a jQuery UI effect that supports additional settings, you may include those settings in the object and they will be passed to the effect. If <code>duration</code> or <code>easing</code> is omitted, then the default values will be used. If <code>effect</code> is omitted, then <code>"fadeIn"</code> will be used.  If <code>delay</code> is omitted, then no delay is used.</li>
